Floyd Schofield takes on the capable Rene Tellez Giron in a 12-round lightweight fight tonight in Las Vegas in the main event on DAZN. The event begins at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The live results and updates will be shown below.
#2 WBA-ranked Schofield (17-0, 12 KOs) will be using Giron (20-3, 13 KOs) to get more practice to prepare him for an eventual title shot, which he hopes will come next year against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. The unbeaten Schofield feels there’s a chance the WBA belt will become vacant soon, as he thinks Tank won’t want to fight him.
Girón, 25, has looked good lately, winning his last three fights since losing to Jose Matias Romero and Giovani Cabrera. He’s still expected to be over his head tonight against Schofield, but you never know.
DAZN main card
Floyd Schofield vs. Rene Tellez Giron

Gabriela Fundora vs. Gabriela Alaniz
Darius Fulghum vs. Christopher Pearson
Joel Iriarte vs. Xavier Madrid
In the chief support fight tonight, super middleweight contender Bektemir Melikuziev battles the heavy-handed slugger David Stevens in a 12-round fight. Golden Boy is trying to position the 28-year-old Bektemir for a title shot against unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
The Bektemir-Stevens fight was supposed to be a WBA title eliminator, but Bektemir came in overweight at the weigh-in. As such, the WBA title eliminator only holds for Stevens.
Also on tonight’s card is IBF flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora (14-0, 6 KOs), fighting an undisputed championship contest against WBA, WBC, and WBO champ Gabriela Alaniz (15-1, 6 KOs). This fight may steal the show in tonight’s event on DAZN.
